Word Art Wednesday Guest Designer

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you're having a wonderful week!! I'm so excited to be guest designing this month at Word Art Wednesday!! It's one of my very favorite challenge blogs and Karen and all of he design team are so incredibly talented!!

I started with papers from Maja Designs' Vintage Summer stack for my cards. I didn't want to add too many layers or embellishments so the focus would be on the beautiful scripture from Proverbs.

Here's a close-up. I printed it on vellum and cut it out with a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklet 1 die. I then attached it with brads.

My dapper dude is George from Tattered Lace. The clock is a Tim Holtz Clock die.

You can see this is pretty CAS for me. I'm entering it in the following challenges:

I hope you'll stop by the Word Art Wednesday blog to see the amazing projects the design team has created for today's challenges. Then link up your Anything Goes project...I can't wait to see what you create!!

Fabulous masculine card and design! I absolutely love the dapper dude die, it looks amazing! The clock behind him is a fabulous accent! The sentiment looks so amazing on the vellum! Awesome job on your CAS card, it looks spectacular!

Wow Lisa, what a wonderful masculine card! Love the neutrals, the blacks and browns work so well together! Your sentiment on the sheer banner is such a lovely detail, just a touch of softness against the masculine elements. Congratulations on your guest designer spot, they are lucky to have you as a source of inspiration!! Sending hugs my friend :)

Wow!! Fabulous CAs style for your card, love very much the words on the vellum, such a striking verse!Love the diecuts, they make your card so elegant! Fab colours and design, my friend! The papers are just perfect!Congrats for your GD, too!

What a great man card! The printed vellum scripture is amazing! I've been wanting to print some of my digis on vellum! Great inspiration. Yes, this is rather CAS, but would be hard to give a man an entire flower bouquet on a card. ;0 LOL! Big hugs, Autumn

This card is so manly and perfect for upcoming Father's Day. This is such a departure from your normal flower and ribbon embellishments with lots of color. Very refreshing indeed and so nice to see a great guy card. Embracing Creative Manly Bliss...

I am so used to seeing your extraordinary feminine cards, Lisa, that this shocked me for a minute! Now all I can say is, wow, your talent knows no bounds and you should do masculine more often! Did I say WOw yet?! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell

What a fantastic and great inspiration, Lisa, your masculine card is really fabulous! The combination of colors is so elegant and the banner with the proverb is a brilliant addition. Congratulations on your Guest DT!!!Hugs, Mar

Amazing masculine card Lisa! I know you've said guy cards are always a challenge..yeah, I don't think so! Girl, you nailed this! I LOVE handsome George! The papers are awesome and I love the TH clock die. I think I need to add that to my wish list! The scripture is beautiful! Nicely done my friend! Sorry to hear you have to cuddle in a blanket in June :( That's crazy! It is beautiful today here. About 78 degree's and just came in from doing some yard work. I finished weeding my flower gardens and just laid 32 bags of cocoa bean. I smell like chocolate, hehe! That really helps keep the weed under control and I have no pets so it works perfectly. My flowers are blooming so nicely. Congrats on your GD spot..seriously, awesome job my friend! Hugs, Sherrie K

What an amazing masculine card Lisa! Yes, I would say too this is a very CAS card for you. lol I love all the elements you have used on this card. The man is amazing looking and I love that you put the clock on there too. Love the papers and love, love, love that sentiment. Hugs, Brenda

Lisa, this is certainly CAS for you, but I would like to give a new definition to CAS in honor of your card--Classy and Sophisticated! What a fabulous simple design, but so effective. Printing the scripture on vellum provides just the perfect balance of softness against those crisp edges of George (perfect name!) die cut and masculine styled papers. There is no style you can't do and you do them all with such Class and Sophistication! Congrats on your Guest DT at Word Art Wednesday--what a blessing for them to have you! Big hugs!

My sweetest friend, congratulations on being a GD at Word Art Wednesday! What a blessing! They are blessed to have you. :o) It amazes me that you have any type of struggle with masculine cards because you keep blessing us with knockouts. :o) This is stunning! You've showcased the Scripture so wonderfully. I love how you printed it on vellum.. I wonder if I can do that with my printer? I love vellum and haven't used some in far too long. I adore those Maja papers (I'm so afraid to use my last piece of wooden paper!) and you've used them to perfection. The dapper dude is fabulous and I love the clock so much. Wonderfully done as always, my dearest Lisa! :o)

You nailed the CAS and this design is man-tastic! The background paper looks like fun and of course the vellum is awesome sauce! Thanks for the reminder about using vellum, it's been a coons age since I last used it. Fantabulous and wowzers card! Hugz to you muffin! ~Niki

Congratulations on your so well deserved GDT spot, Lisa! Your masculine card is awesome and I love your elegant design! I love how you used vellum for the sentiment! It's fantastic! Big hugs to you! Branka xx
